llama.cpp Null Pointer and Resource Exhaustion
2026-07-27
Remote denial of service in llama.cpp allows unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server resources via crafted JSON schema inputs that trigger unbounded recursion in the JSON-schema-to-GBNF conversion routine. Affected versions include commit e15efe0 and prior. A fix exists in a pending pull request; no active exploitation reported.
Denial of service in ggml-org llama.cpp allows remote attackers to crash the application by sending a crafted JSON schema that triggers a null pointer dereference in the _visit_pattern function. No authentication or user interaction is required, and all versions up to the affected commits d006858/e15efe0 are vulnerable. The fix is pending merge; no public exploit code has been identified.
